Here Are the 9 Best Spots for French Fries in Maine

Fries. Fries are a huge part of our lives, whether we want to admit it or not. And I'll be the first to say it's tough to beat a good McDonald's large fry on a Sunday night. But for Maine, the best selection of fries doesn't just end at McDonald's. According to bestlocalthings, there are actually nine other places that are actually considered the best of the best in the state when it comes to our beloved fried potato sticks. The first one mentioned is the least surprising nominee, hailing from Old Orchard Beach: pier fries.

The Top 9 Best Spots for French fries in Maine

1. Pier French Fries, Old Orchard Beach
2. Duckfat, Portland
3. Nosh Kitchen Bar, Portland
4. Petite Jacqueline, Portland
5. Blaze, Bangor
6. Swamp Buck Restaurant & Lounge, Fort Kent
7. Dysart's Truck Stop, Hermon
8. Trackside Station, Rockland
9. The Black Birch, Kittery

That's a pretty solid list, if you ask me. However, I do have to chime in and say that Mash-tun in Portland should also be mentioned if you love a good truffle-dusted fry basket. I think pier fries are a tourist trap, so it has to make the list. Plus, Mainers love their pier fries, so I won't say any more. Okay fine, I'll say one more thing: crinkle-cut fries are far less superior to a straight golden fry. There, I said it.
